This cranberry jam is one I make at Christmas for family and friends. I especially like serving it for brunch, along with muffins or toast and fruit. —Sandee Berg, Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta

It tastes wonderful, however it didn't jell. The small amount left over and poured into a dish not processed ,did jell. Could the processing in the boiling water bath have anything to do with the problem ? I really wanted to make this for gifts ! What is processed & in the jars, is to watery. Any suggestions ???

I made and canned this jam and gave it out as part of homemade Christmas gifts last year. My family loved it!

Hi:

It's been about 3 days and the jam hasn't set. I thought cranberries were high in pectin and would set, but the jam isn't. Do I need to reprocess? I used the BWB method for 10 mins.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Patty
